In Valemont City the moon had risen up illuminating the sky with its golden hew, ever since the arrival of the dead witches in the land of the living the sun has refused to rise giving birth to prolonged nighttime.
Students of paradise high were afraid to come out of their various rooms and dorms, strange noises were heard coming from the middle of the school ground but no one was brave enough to check it out. But something terrifying made the whole school tremble.
It's the fact that it was 7am in the morning but it was still nightfall, no trace of light was seen outside the school environment.
Then the death of The school management, came unexpectedly from an unknown source. This made every brave students who was about to check out what was going on outside to stop on their tracks.
It was obvious, that it was nothing but death sentence. Among these was a girl called Summer and her best friends Philip and Bella.
" We can't continue staying indoors anymore, for the past two days I haven't seen the outside world and you think it's fine." Summer voice rang with an hint of frustration. She was tired and with the bunch of cowards who lurks around her, she was getting more angrier.
Philip looked at the window which was covered with mist, his eyes peered at the windows and his eyes caught something, a silhouette moving sluggishly towards the school garden.
" Oh my gosh what's that." Philip pointed out in fear.
Summer and Bella both ran to the window and their eyes saw the figure which was moving backwards suddenly, almost in a reverse motion.
Bella eyes bulged.
" I don't think that's human, don't you see it has no legs and it's moving backwards." Bella elaborated.
Summer was finding it difficult to believe in the supernatural, that was said to have plagued their school.
" Nah that's probably a students just as us that's playing pranks on us." Summer smiled.
But the tension didn't go down, they were in the dinning table, all the students had gathered together and among those who gathered were the dorm prefects, and teacher's who are incharge of various dorms.
The huge dinning hall was crowded with worried students who were banned from going outside, with enough foodstuffs in the store to last for days, movement was prohibited and classes was suspended indefinitely until things was soughted out.
Summer was still arguing, ever so brave and stubborn she wanted to prove to everyone that the figure was that of a student like them but she just have to go outside, but that lies the problem no one wanted her outside. She might be used as an example to attack the innocent ones.
And among those that were against her going outside was Nina, Vesper and Ophelia.
" I think it's better if you forget what you see outside and stay here where it's safe for us all." Nina commanded.
Summer let out a loud laughter, some teachers who saw what was happening came closer to witness what was wrong and probably stops it before it escalates.
Summer stared at Nina, she felt insulted and annoyed that Nina talked back to her, the whole Nina.
" And who the hell are you to speak." Summer questioned, at this point the crowd was getting more intense, different people supporting different sides. Those who believes that nothing was wrong and others who were visible scared.
" Enough you brainless fools." A steel like voice cut through the argument like a knife. The teachers who wanted to intervene stopped midway. looking at the perpetrator, it was Emily Bennett and she wasn't pleased with what was going on.
Philip, and Bella both shared a look, hasn't Emily been absent for a long time, when did she return.
" You people don't know what you're dealing with that's why you're making noise because trust me as I say this anyone that goes out there comes back nothing less than dead or possessed." Emily deadpanned.
Everyone began murmuring and the whole crowd was mumbling.
Summer who looked at Emily found something about her amiss, she looks so different and her skin and body was glowing more different than it was.
" Oh I see you all are just scared little puppies, just watch and see nothing of any sought will happen to me." Summer declared and ran all the way to the huge iron door. Before the teachers could stop her, she has unlocked the huge padlock which was barricaded and ventured outside.
Philip was speechless, eyes on the girl who was walking around outside. Bella joined him to watch from the Windows.
Emily who saw the foolish stunt the girl pulled shook her head, maybe the cemetery will receive a lot of students this long night after all. After she was done talking she looked around and when no one was looking she disappeared from the crowd.
Nina who was trailing her, looking forward for both of them to talk frowned when she couldn't locate Emily again, it almost looked like she vanished again. Meanwhile in a corridor a slender figure with purple hair walked out through a door and in that process Emily removed the face mask which was previously her face, only to show a beauty with long wavy purple hair and hazel eyes.
After Ava help she ended up in the body of this beauty who died, reason best known to her and now she has possessed her body now she has work to do and Ava has summoned her but it seems they have to return to the school faster because by what she could see, Lamia was attacking the school sooner than expected.
Nina who was also watching Summer, looked with keen interest.
" She's not dead yet so maybe she's right." Vesper interjected.
Nina was about to talk when she felt a shadow moved behind Summer.
" Oh my gosh they is something besides her." Nina shrieked.
All the students rushed to see, and like what Nina said, a shadow was beside her.
Summer didn't get the opportunity to turn, as a clawed finger dug into her chest.
" Haaaaaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaaaaaa." Summer let out a chilling scream.
The hands twisted her ribs before tearing off her head which exploded from its base earning a wild scream from the entire students.
" Emily was right we are doomed." Philip face twisted with fear.
And amidst the chaos Ophelia suddenly saw two figures on the dinning table, a raven and an owl and she let out a deafening scream that made the entire room vibrate.
The other student who saw the eerie sight all scampered for safety as they ran faster than their legs could carry them.
Then just that instance the birds neck snapped, and their blood suddenly began forming a line ; drawing a dreadful dark occultic circle, with human skulls drawing at the center of the circle.
